DOPPELGANGER

Popularized recently as a harmless facebook fad, doppelgangers show up in many cultures all over the world, sometimes as an “Evil Twin”, a frightening omen of death, or simply a strange belief that everyone has an exact double somewhere in the world.
In Germany, the doppelganger is the evil ghostly double of a living person, who spends all of its time preying on its human part. Other cultures theorize that everyone has a body double and that one of you is evil and one of you is good. How many times has someone said to you “I saw you walking yesterday downtown”, and you’ve replied, “That’s impossible, because I was in the house all day”, to which the person says “Oh, must’ve been your evil twin.” Such statements are usually written off as a confusion, but do you know anyone who hasn’t had this happen to them at least once?
A quick Wikipedia search proves that there have been several accounts of people who claimed to have met their double, and none of them are positive experiences. There is a Norse myth that the doppelganger does all of the actions of the real person just before the real person does them

REBOBS: THE FLYING MONKEYS OF NAPA VALLEY

Rebobs are creatures of which little is known, and conflicting accounts have been given of them. A small town in Napa Valley was once home to the Patrick family. Patrick Road, which is named for them, is supposedly the home of the mysterious Rebobs. Rumors of the Rebobs have been spread for decades, though there is no real consensus on the characteristics of the creatures. VARYING DESCRIPTION: The one feature of the Rebobs most people appear to agree on - though not everyone agrees on - is that they are monkey-like in appearance. But from there, accounts can vary wildly. One legend says that they are half-monkey, half-robot, and have wings. Another tells of a scientist combining monkeys and humans, which resulted in the Rebobs. Yet another version says they are a part bat. And still, another adds that the Rebobs have long fangs and claws in addition to wings. One account described the Rebobs as being covered in branches and looking like walking plants, which is, of course, a co...

FROG IN THE WELL

There was a frog that lived in a shallow well. “Look how well off I am here!” he told a big turtle from the Eastern Ocean. “I can hop along the coping of the well when I go out, and rest by a crevice in the bricks on my return. I can wallow to my heart's content with only my head above water, or stroll ankle deep through soft mud. No crabs or tadpoles can compare with me. I am master of the water and lord of this shallow well, what more can a fellow ask? Why don't you come here more often to have a good time? " Before the turtle from the Eastern Ocean could get his left foot into the well, however, he caught his right claw on something. So he halted and stepped back then began to describe the ocean to the frog. “It’s more than a thousand miles across and more than ten thousand feet deep. In ancient times there were floods nine years out of ten yet the water in the ocean never increased. And later there were droughts seven years out of eight yet the water in the oc...

MEDITATION

AUTHOR: By Aleister Crowley YEAR PUBLISHED: Published August 24th, 2015 PAGE COUNT: Kindle Edition, 46 pages ASIN: B014G6D5DW REVIEW: Based on instruction from Liber ABA, Book 4, widely considered to be the magnum opus of 20th-century occultist Aleister Crowley. The most concise introduction to yogic meditation I've encountered, and in typical Crowley form, one of the least compromising. Traditional yet non-mystical, specific in its description of the progressively objective states of consciousness and the steps taken to attain them, it is evident that he is presenting what he has personally verified by experience.
